He is only dead to me because of where he went. Same with his brother. I absolutely despise that program. He could have played for so many other teams and I would have continued to root for him. He could have been Mother Theresa of Calcutta, if she went to Carolina, I would still hate!
Marcus Carr
- Thread starter poconopanther
- Start date
That’s certainly more convincing than your usual “because I said so” argument.
The local kid who played for Pitt and graduated with honors , as a 2 star after thought - who became a nba first rounder
yesh that’s a tough guy to like
let’s keep talking about a kid who quit Pitt after a pathetic single season and has been gone two years
Eff him sounds a little angry to me.
And by the way, they both quit. One because the fanbase treated him and his team like dirt. And completely misjudged how good he could be. I can understand and won't blame him reason for getting out of town. I wouldn't want to stay where I'm not wanted.
Now the other guy could have stayed but was more interested in furthering his NBA prospects. I think most critical "get it" about his leaving. But anyone who thinks playing for the tarheels wouldn't sting a little is missing a few brain cells.
And please quit dropping "obsessed" and "loyal fanboys" like they were nickels. Nine years running you have never found a Wanny thread and failed to weigh in on. Look in the mirror before you call other obsessed.
In addition to bragging about things that you didn't predict, one of your best qualities is the way that you can construct strawmen and then knock them down with relative ease.
I wonder why someone with your superior basketball "knowledge" feels the need to do that?
Not sure how you can question the motives of someone who is nearly always correct in his assumptions. It must be true as I see him post it on here all the time.
How did Cam quit? He earned his degree and pursued postgraduate studies to maximize his career potential. Considering he was a first rounder he made a smart move.
Graduating isn’t quitting
and you can stay loyal to losers and quitters like Carr and wanny
It's freaking game time and your talking about Carr please

Your definition of quitting is different than mine. Both left the team to play with another. So both or neither did. Pick your poison.
What’s the big deal? The kid was a good player on a historically bad team and it’s interesting to follow his career. No rational person would really hold it against a Stallings-era player for leaving that awful situation.
Not interesting to me
I don’t follow other teams in another conference
feel free to fixate and post on him
I’ll continue to point out how irrelevant he is to Pitt
the awful situation was corrected with firing the inept stallings
I can understand the negative feelings towards Cam. 6 or 8 years ago I could have never have dreamed of a scenario where we have someone transfer in conference. But cause to me we were every bit the one of the top 2 or 3 programs in our conference for over 10 to 12 years.
Times changed. Dramatically. But that still has to be one of the only athletes in PITT history that had a good career at Pitt but finished it with an in conference team. And a sport like basketball only takes a couple really good guys to really change the complexion of a team.
My take isn’t personal. I wish him well. He didn’t do anything outside the rules. But I also have the right as a fan to feel kind of meh at this point

I was one of the few who had hope for Stallings. I think if he would have done something that first year things might have turned out different. And he should have done something. Four seniors, plus Johnson & Luther. All he had to do was try to get any warm body to transfer in as a PG. But Stallings put zero effort into that team....nada. You don't get blown out at home by 50+ points with four seniors and an NBA first rounder on the roster. You don't screw up so bad you don't even get an NIT invite. So after that disaster first season, it was pretty evident Stallings clocked out and was just here for the payday, especially once Barnes was gone.
I know everyone loves a good Marcus Carr update 
Last night, he was 1 rebound short of a triple-double in a win vs. Wisconsin.

Well his shooting % wasn't high and he didn't graduate so eff him. And while I'm thinking about it, eff Taft, Adams, and Blair. They didn't graduate either.
Nothing weird about it. Graduation was NBAfan and your litmus test. All of them had eligibility remaining at Pitt and chose to leave for various reasons. What's weird is your need to differentiate.
Carr is under consideration for 1st team all conference PG. Maybe the BIG should consult you before they pull the trigger.
This is an awful take. Leaving for the pros is a good thing. You want to be a program that puts its players in the NBA - it's a massive boon for future recruiting. On the other hand, losing players to the transfer portal does nothing positive for your program.
Care to tell me how many quality bigs we recruited due to Adams and Blairs entry to the NBA.
…………………...……........ Yeah, I thought so.
It's weird that you stan so hard for a dude that left the team.
What's weird is how so many hate Stallings so much that it bleeds on to his recruits. Why the disdain?Carr would have been an valuable asset to this team and it was a shame Capel couldn't/wouldn't retain him. He didn't quit, he escaped.
If he wanted to stay he’d be here. He left. Direct your anger accordingly.
You are incapable of hurting my feelings.
You made the claim that leaving early for the pros yields "a massive boon" to recruiting. Your words. Well when have we reaped the benefits? Let me educate you, it hasn't happened. Never mind the disruption that almost always happens to the team when someone leaves. Just when someone gets really good, off he goes.
I don't hate Carr. No disdain here. But I don't understand the fascination with updating these boards after (only) good games. Nor do I understand why some posters are getting so defensive about a guy that up and left the program. And for the record, it is different with Cam. Because Cam worked his ass off and graduated. He's a Pitt degree holder.
Well since Carr left Pitt, be as mad at him as you are at the others. He wasn’t forced out. He decided to leave. Which happens when coaches change (obvious, or should be). But since he left Pitt like the others you should be angry with him too, no?
Because a lot of people who don't know basketball said he was terrible. A lot of them.
It’s likely the same idiots who have been saying it about the youngsters who don’t produce immediately since forever.
It’s gonna happen again next year if Collier, Amadsun or Hugley don’t help right away.
